Lillard began the verse explaining his sources of identity, “Who are you? A son, a brother, and a father. A ballplayer and a rapper.”

The video shows Lillard in his Weber State uniform and cap and gown from when he graduated with a professional sales degree three years after he entered the NBA.

Lillard promised his mom he would finish his degree after he went pro and he did.

“(College is) about the experience and lot of the things that you pick up along the way,” Lillard told USA Today. “Even if it’s not directly your education. … It can be anything. I’m grateful for what I have here. Anything you start you should want to finish. Especially your education.”

The verse is part of Adidas’ “Free To Create” campaign. James Harden has also been featured as a “Free To Create” athlete.

“There’s no rules to who I can be and how I do it. I wrote my own verse, now write yours,” Lillard concluded.
